I’m a straight-A student and have been my whole life. When you come from a family of educators, it just seems 1 .
With high academic standards and a competitive 2 , I don’t just like losing and I also can’t 3 it. I need to beat the 4 students, perfectly in everything. I’ve even gone so far as to define myself by my 5 , saying how outstanding I am. If I don’t get the grade I 6 then I am lost.
Today I was sitting in class trying to 7 the last minutes studying for a test in which I had to get full marks. 8 the girl behind me started talking to me, I tried to listen 9 while still glancing at my study sheet 10 .

You’re so easy to talk to. ”I froze.
I replayed the praise in my head before smiling and accepting it 14 . But inside, I knew it wasn’t true. She’d made every effort to have a conversation and I wasn’t even trying to 15 .

An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples. ”It 20 to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
